Everyone wants to be data driven and use data science, but it's not that easy. At Busbud, data science was part of our DNA from day 1, but we encountered many challenges and the mission of the data science team had to evolve to remain relevant. In this presentation, I will talk about the roles that data science can play in a startup at different life stages and the ways to organize the data science team to overcome some of these challenges.
